Why are kids allowed on OnlyFans?
They aren’t allowed, nor is it legal. That’s kinda the point of the article
There is no article. There is merely a link to some other site than lemmy here.
Actually reading the article? Me on Lemmy? idk that’s a bit far fetched
My gf had to submit pictures of her ID like 4 times with all her personal information to be able to post . And I had to go through the same process to be able to be included in the videos . So I don’t really understand how moniors can post in there .
I would love to know how you would decide if the scan or copy of my ID, with picture, I send you by mail, or upload with a web form as a jpeg, is real or a fake.
The article explains it in one case, an adult woman verified the account and then they posted a minor’s videos on it instead.
But the article also said that they only know about 30 cases in 5 years in the US. Which doesn’t sound like a huge amount to me personally (still too many obviously)
Yeah it doesn’t seem that widespread to me for the amount of people in there . It’s probably impossible to get it to 0 . There is always going to be people putting Alot of work to get around it .
Fake IDs, fake foreign IDs, mismatched IDs?
It’s similar to 10 year olds being allowed on Facebook, only there’s money and sexual activity involved.
This reminds me of Russia after the Soviet Union fell, in which nine and ten year olds were offering sexual services for lunch money, because they literally had no other means to eat.
In the States today, those jobs that were once a place for teens to get work experience and spending money are now occupied by people paying rent. Competition for fast food cashiers and grocery baggers is fierce.
And yeah, teens who are very pretty find they control their own means of production when it comes to telecommunications sex, so it’s natural they too would want to bypass regulations to get some of that sweet, sweet lucre that defines your power and privilege in this society.
She’s got a ticket to ride, and she don’t care.
I’ve said this for years as others online have claimed OF is so safe. You don’t know the full story. It is not necessarily a more ethical business model than traditional porn
The main thing I’m getting from the article is that adults who try to profit from abusing children on OnlyFans get arrested.
The ones who get caught, yeah.
It seems to me that OnlyFans takes several steps that make it easier for police and prosecutors to do their job, some of which are detailed in the article. What additional steps do you think they should take?
None. My point is that there’s a shit ton of abuse out there. Only a tiny amount is caught
You said the people who do this get arrested. But they don’t. Only a tiny fraction get caught and arrested
I guess I’m thinking about this from a solutions-oriented mindset: what concrete, achievable steps can various entities take to reduce child abuse? For an adult content platform, the identity verification steps OnlyFans uses seem reasonable; even when an offender uses an account owned by someone else, that often provides enough of a lead for investigators.
At this point of social decomposition, I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.
hundreds of sexually explicit videos and images of minors – from toddlers to teens – appeared on the website
Some teens maybe. But toddlers? Have you read the article?
Yes, I am not referring to the entirety but to a generality, in the case of toddlers it is obvious that I am not referring to that.
Or parents who exploit their kids for easy, filthy money.
I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.
How tech-literate are those toddlers?
I’m not talking about toddlers, I’m talking about people under 18yo who legally are considered as minors.
Really? There’s like 10 examples here of children being abused and your response is to talk about how kids are bad?
Yeah I mean I’m not saying there are no predators out there but at this point of a scum society I think the majority of children on OF are not exactly victims of a predator.
“majority”
You sound like you feel guilty after you masturbate and your favorite expedition was the Mayflower
Weird way to brag about not reading the article, but ok
This is the sentence in the entire large article that person seems to be laser focused on:
In other cases, minors got past OnlyFans vetting to purvey their own sexually explicit material, police records show.
It later has interview excerpts with one girl who sold her own material across two accounts. It’s a small part of the entire article though.
